A Reflection from the desk of the Pastor…November 3, 2019 Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C Most people we read about in the Bible claimed a call from Christ either as a personal invitation or through the public preaching of Jesus. Others probably looked for Jesus to cure their affliction. But Zacchaeus was different. He was a successful businessman. He had worked hard to move up the success ladder, which earned him the title —chief. He was wealthy. We often assume that Zacchaeus being a tax collector, was corrupt just as we say," All politicians are crooked," or "all lawyers are liars," or "all preachers care about is money." Although Zacchaeus profession seems to separate him from the

community, he is attracted to Jesus. He wants to see him. He wants to know who Jesus is. Shamelessly, he runs ahead and climbs a sycamore tree. In order words, he takes the initiative over what was important to him. The tree gave him a higher perspective. On arriving there, Jesus looks up and instructs Zacchaeus to hurry down. Zacchaeus sought Jesus, but now, Jesus invites him to a full-blown meeting. Running and hurrying are often associated with excitement and happiness at what is happening; jus as in the story of the prodigal son, the father runs to meet with the son on seeing him from afar.

The lost must show interest to get to a place where he could be seen. He does not need to make the whole way back before being helped. God's grace is always waiting and watching. When the situation presents itself, grace moves in and completes the action. Perhaps, God's grace is waiting for us to make that first move to quit a bad habit.

God is good all the time; all the time God is good! Fr. Linus Umoren, CM-Pastor

Call to Worship

Good morning and Welcome to Sacred Heart Church. Today is the Thirty-First Sunday in ordinary time. In the gospel, a man named Zacchaeus—a chief tax collector desires to see Jesus. But because he was short in stature, and the crowd was big, he decided to climb a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus. Surprisingly to him, when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and asked Zacchaeus to come down for salvation has come to his house. Please rise and join in singing hymn no…and know that God is good all the time.
